JS asked to strengthen HR Commission

Staff Correspondent
A parliamentary body yesterday recommended that the House empower the National Human Rights Commission to look into allegations against disciplined forces including the military.
The standing committee on the law ministry made a number of other recommendations as well in its scrutiny report on the HR commission bill.
It said the commission should be able to seek a report from the government on allegations of human rights violation by a disciplined force.
If the rights watchdog finds the report satisfactory, it will not pruccvu.
It will however recommend measures for the government to take on the matter if necessary. In that case, the government will have to turn in a follow-up report within six months.
The standing committee report placed in parliament yesterday afternoon cites article 152 (1) of the constitution that says tire disciplined forces mean the armed forces and police and "any other force declared by law to be a disciplined force6.
It recommends that tire commission be comprised of not more than seven members including a chairman. The original bill proposes the rights body to be made up of a chairman and two members.
The committee proposed some changes in formation of tire selection committee as well.
It wants a seven-member selection committee and the speaker to be at the helm. The law minister, home minister, Law Commission's chairman, cabinet secretary, and two lawmakers nominated by the speaker to represent the treasury and opposition benches will be the other members.
The bill says the selection committee will have six members. It will be headed by an Appellate Division judge nominated by the chief justice.
The cabinet secretary, attorney general, comptroller and auditor general, chairman of the Public Service Commission and law secretary will be the other five members.
Suranjit Sengupta, chairman of the parliamentary' body, said the committee members had visited five countries during scrutiny of the bill and made the recommendations in the light of nature and activities of the human rights commissions in those countries.
The last caretaker government had the National Human Rights Commission Ordinance 2007 promulgated during its tenure and accordingly formed a commission. But that ordinance ceased to be in effect on February 25 as it was not ratified in parliament.
Later, the government placed tire bill modelled on the ordinance.
The bill proposes giving a legal coverage to the commission's activities under the now ineffective ordinance, ‘‘^uxannt, said tire standing' committee tried to get rid of the bureaucratic tangles the ordinance had presented in formation of the commission.
